After he mentioned Lucky Daye, however, Ne-Yo went down memory lane for a moment and revealed that he and the Candydrip artist were closely working together in the late 2000s. According to Ne-Yo, he was planning on signing Lucky Daye to his Compound Entertainment imprint on Def Jam, and he had also originally tapped the rising artist — who was then performing under his government name David Brown — for a feature on "She Got Her Own" in 2008.

"He was going by David Brown. We were working," Ne-Yo explained. "The remix to 'Miss Independent' with me, and Jamie Foxx, and Fab? Jamie Foxx's verse — Lucky Daye wrote that verse. He wrote the verse because it was supposed to be him."

However, Ne-Yo claimed that issues arose between them that led to Lucky Daye being replaced on "She Got Her Own."

"I was going on a short little run or whatever, and I let Mr. Daye stay at my house," Ne-Yo said. "Now at this point, I have a big beautiful house, and I'm like, 'Bruh, you've got full reign of the crib. You can go wherever you want to go, do whatever you want to do — just don't go in my room.' I come back one morning. Open the door up, I don't see this dude nowhere. I go upstairs to my room. Sure enough, he's asleep with a chick in my bed."

"He had no excuse. What could he say?!" Ne-Yo continued. "I gave you one rule. One. Told you one place you couldn't go. Mind you — big crib. There's rooms, a backyard, whatever. Just don't go in this room. Not only are you in my room, you're in my bed. You in my bed with somebody. At the time, I was upset. I was mad, so that was kind of the end of that whole situation. Like bruh, if you can't follow this simple rule, I don't know if this thing gon' work."
